And I can understand that were completely (different people. But Sylvania can you just please here me out. I know I always tried to relate to (your situations.) I know I didn't have the greatest advice. So just please here me out (though Sylvania.) Oh Sylvania please here me out. Oh Sylvania please here me out. Oh Sylvania please here me out. Im sorry for all the times I made fun of your name. And called you Sylvania the television. But I know you are human just like me. So please here me out today. And I know I know I know You don't really care for me. And I know I know I know That I can come off a bit strong. And I know I know I know Thats times are hard, and shouldn't bother you. And I know I know I know Your not a television. And I know I know I know A-Know-know-Know-know-Know-know-Know-know And you should know you know you know That I am joking around. And you should know you know you know That I am really not harsh. So why oh why oh why do you just come up and shoot me down point blank. So why oh why oh why do you think I have no feelings like you? Oh Sylvania please here me out. Oh Sylvania please here me out. Oh Sylvania please here me out. And I know I know I know That I can get easily irritated. And I know I know I know You have your own way of living. And I know I know I know I shouldn't be the judge of what should or shouldn't do. But understand that sometimes you just go to far. And I'm only trying to save you from ultimate annihilation from the world. (and you should know you know you know)Oh Sylvania please here me out. (and you should know you know you know)Oh Sylvania please here me out. (and you should know you know you know)Oh Sylvania please here me out. Now.

Open your eyes and see that everything is wrong. Look into the mirror and see those dark circles under eyes. Smell the hot wax burning from the candle on besides your bed. Feel your fingers start to twitch as your senses switch, on! Flex your muscles as the girls go bye. Tell your friends that they had all stopped by. And then continue on to tell them you even said something you wouldn't dare. (woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh) Whats holding you back? Whats holding you back? You convince yourself its only a white lie Thinking its only just for a while. But deep inside you just want to cry. (oh, just cry, just cry, just cry.) Whats holding you back? Whats holding you back? Oh. Its time. Its time. To hide. To hide. Its time, to hide.

Ridin' On 04:01
Ridin' on. Evening song, Evening song. Ridin' on. Evening song, Evening song. Ridin' on Ridin' on Like an evening song you once heard By the person who never spoke a word, oh Feeling the pavement under my feet. Blue lights chasing my after me. Man o man what a feat. Couldn't of done it with a creep Like you Ridin' on I take your hand, you let go of my hand I give you my life you take my life away, away Our hearts will never be apart You will always stay with me Never go I have something for you Even though its not even there oh.. Ridin' on Ridin' on I prayed to god one dark night asking him to keep the bad spirits away, away I saw a ghost just last night. He stayed with me by my side He didn't say a word but he mouthed a few And this is how it went. Ridin' on Ridin' on Like an evening song you once heard By the person who never spoke a word Ridin' on Ridin' on Like an evening song you once heard By the person who never spoke a word Like an evening song you once heard By the person who never spoke a word

Love Love Anytime for you Hold Hold All the time for you Love Love Anytime for you Hold Hold All the time for you

about

We, Phonics, present our debut LP "Finding Perfection" with great satisfaction, and with this it is only the threshold of where we shall continue on with much more composition. It had put a toll on us dearly, and the realization that the creation of an album can be of great joy, and also much stress personally, and as a group. Support from family, and friends made it happen, and no matter what may stem from this, the experience is unforgettable. We give thanks to our family, friends who supported at concerts, and our dear engineer Michael McNerny who during our time has become family. Most importantly, our brotherly love for one another, for better or for worse, had pulled us through in flying colors. So we salute, and wish only pure enjoyment from beginning to end of this album called Finding Perfection.
